How we contribute
Iktifa replaces one-time cash aid with productive assets: tools and equipment bought with the beneficiary present, so low-income and displaced families can earn and move toward sufficiency.
UN Sustainable Development Goals
How the revolving micro-enterprise model aligns with global goals.
Focused alignments
We do not claim every SDG. Below are the goals where Iktifa’s screening, in-kind equipment, mentoring, and revolving follow-up make a clear contribution.
How we contribute
Women-led micro-businesses are a priority track. Screening, mentoring, and in-kind equipment help women run workshops and households as partners in production—not passive recipients.
How we contribute
Feasibility screening and mentoring launch viable micro-businesses that create dignified self-employment—and, where markets allow, local work—through revolving repayment that funds the next cohort.
How we contribute
Banks, cooperatives, and civil-society partners co-deliver screening, purchases, mentoring, and follow-up so revolving capital is recycled with accountability across Türkiye and neighbouring contexts.
